The handsome church edifiCe was brill
liantly lighted and the scene was certainly
a beautiful and animated one, the hum OF
voices and the eager expectant faces OF the
assemblage all combining to make the et-
feet very striking. AS the time approached
the expectant look on the faces OF the
guests became more intensified, and when
the City Hall clock tolled out the hour OF
eight on the crisp evening air, and the
grand notes of the Lohengrin wedding
march pealed forth under the dett fingers
of Miss Annie Logan, the Organist, every
head was turned toward the entrance to
the right aisle of the church and every eye
was strained to catch the first glimpse OF

TUNES of white with sashes OF deep yellow
